La fotografia
E’ stata scattata da capanno nell’Oasi di Gaggio.
Si tratta di un giovane di nitticora, nato quest’anno, che si è spinto lontano dalla garzaia per uno dei veri e propri primi voli. Le prime sperimentazioni ed esercitazioni di volo avvengono rimanendo nei pressi del nido. Il giovane di nitticora ha un piumaggio di tipo mimetico marrone-beige con macchie chiare a goccia e chiazze chiare più ampie nella parte inferiore. Un’altra vistosa differenza rispetto al giovane sub-adulto è l’occhio con l’iride gialla e non rossa. Questo giovane evidenzia ancora le piumette da nido sul capo. Questo giovane di nitticora ha sostato nei pressi del capanno di osservazione assieme ad un altro giovane di nitticora e ad uno di garzetta (presente sfuocato nell’immagine). Vedi WORSHOP per una visione d’insieme.

This dual portrait image is magical, Maurisio.
I love the composition -- the white one OOF and the other one in perfect focus.
What lovely colours and immaculate details!
TFS and regards.

Excellent capture of this black-crowed night-heron. I like the composition very much with the egret in the background. Excellent sharpness. Very good exposure and beautiful colours. I like the picture in the WS too.
Cheers,

Fine portrait of a Juvenile Night Heron with an in tersting BG of an OOF Little Egret!
The night heron is sharply shown and taken from a great POV to dominate the BG.
An unusual and interesting image!

Hello Maurizio,
Very interesting capture showing the Night Heron very sharply with the contours of the Little Egret in the background. An unusual and very attractive composition!
Many thanks, Ulla

A very new and unique point of view Maurizio! I like this most avant type of thinking in composition. I have seen it used in imaging people for editorial images, but never here on TN as far as I can remember. There is a special way to do this and I guess this is it:-)

Hi Maurizio,

A most unusual and highly successful shot. The Heron is beautiful with his magnificent beak and eye. Razor sharp and excellent colors. The out of focus Egret provides a wonderful background.

Wow, this is beautiful and a great composition, your framing is superb! And the chick is really cute, nice informative notes to accompany that artistic and most interesting picture. I love the out of focus bird and the little one looking from the side of the frame, almost mischievelous. Thank you!

Ciao Maurizio, the capture of these two great birds together like this is excellent. I like the portrait and the detail you have captured on the heron. Having an egret in the background like this is truly a bonus.

Thanks, John

Foto stupenda! Complimenti per la composizione soprattutto! Se proprio devo fare un appuntino... non chiamarlo pulcino, ma giovane (non sono sinonimi).

Hi Maurizio,
I like what you have done with the crop. The heron at the side with the other as a background look very nice.
The details on the heron turned out well.

Outstanding shot and the OOF Egret and the sharp Heron combine together so well. Very skillfully done with perfect focus. Lovely colours and details here. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.

Ciao Maurizio,
aesthetically very pleasing image of exciting creativity. A really cool combination of frame-filling parent bird unfocusses, and focussed youngster entering the frame. Provides a lot of dynamic tension and aesthetical thrill.
Thank you! My best regards,

Hi Maurizio,
This is really an unique shot of two kinds of water bird, I love the 3D effect of it with excellent DOF in foreground, TFS

Cioa maurizio,
Una magnifica foto, con ottimo foco e detagli, ma soppratutoo la composizione con le due specie d´aironi. Noi abbiamo N. nycticorax in America del Sud, nella mia regione la chiamano "garza bruja" che tradutto al italiano è airone strega.

Hi Maurizio,

Hello Maurizio. I like this double shot. The one in the foreground looks like our Chinese Pond Heron. Very sharp focus exposing all the details. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni
